Nintendo UK cuts DSi price

Down with the old, in with the new

Nintendo is reducing the UK trade price of the DSi gaming handheld on 18 June. But it is not saying by how much.

The company is merely telling a tame magazine: "The ultimate price to consumers is, of course, determined by the retailers."

Prices diced

Since Nintendo let this be known, several retailers have dropped the price to £30 below RRP, Edge Online reports.

It sounds like the company is keen to cut back on inventory in advance of the launch of the DS3, its next gen handheld. This will get its first public airing this month at E3, the enormous US games show.
